Change order of widgets in settings, Change description of Thematic Widgets

I have created a couple custom widgets and I want them to display in the widgets settings area above the Thematic widgets, in the order that they apear on the page. I would also like to customize the widget description of a couple Thematic widgets.

"The primary widget area, most often used as a sidebar." and change to something a bit more relavent to how the widget is actually being used.

this is my starting point...childtheme_override_init_presetwidgets()

any suggestions? If there is a post out there somewhere on how to do this point the way!
